[quote=Anonymous]Appreciate all the feedback from folks in the admissions world. I had a couple of questions: How can you tell whether a child has "grit" vs. being a parent-piloted drone? I'm sure in some cases it's obvious, like fleeing a war torn country and finding success here despite the odds, kids achieving in very low performing schools, etc. But are you going to assume that every child in a wealthy suburb has no grit just because they've been fortunate enough not to have encountered a lot of the worst of life?[/quote]
